What will Bynum do in his first game back?

Finally, after 49 days and 24 games, Andrew Bynum will make his anticipated season debut Tuesday.

Bynum is expected to start his first game since having off-season knee surgery and Phil Jackson said he likely will play 15 minutes against the Washington Wizards. But what else can Lakers fans expect from the oft-injured center?

His presence definitely bring relief for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom in means of playing times. The two have been shouldering heavy minutes the first quarter of the season and now they will have a chance at more rest.

But what will Bynum's offense look like? Will he be productive and have much timing after participating in a handful of 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 scrimmages, or will he simply look to rebound and concentrate on offense while he works himself back into game shape?
